What Cd163 Knockout mouse models are available?

When Cd163 Knockout lines are in catalog, we ship from inventory. If your configuration is not listed, we design the allele to order. Common paths include conditional knockout, constitutive knockout, humanized, knockin, and transgenic options, with documented germline transmission and United States QC.

Is Cd163 knockout embryonic lethal in mice?

It depends on background and allele design. Some Cd163 germline knockouts are viable. Others need conditional alleles or mixed backgrounds. We review publications and our own experience, then recommend floxed versus null before you commit.

Which Cre driver is best for experiments?

Driver choice depends on onset timing, recombination efficiency, and known leak. We map your organ and cell type to a short list of proven Cre lines, then talk through reporter crosses and controls. We favor drivers with strong community validation for your tissue.

Do you ship live Cd163 animals?

When catalog lines are live, we ship with health certificates and QC documentation. If your exact combo is not listed, we quote a generation project with cryo or live dispatch depending on cohort timing and geography.

How do I request a quote for Cd163?

Use the catalog inquire buttons or the request quote form. Include your allele goal, Cre plan if any, strain background, and cohort size. A PhD led team responds with pricing, milestones, and the fastest path to experimental animals.

Why model Cd163

Cd163 is the mouse ortholog of human CD163, encoding a type I transmembrane scavenger receptor built from nine class B scavenger receptor cysteine-rich domains that mediates calcium-dependent endocytosis of haptoglobin-hemoglobin complexes, delivering heme to macrophage lysosomes where HMOX1 degradation yields biliverdin, carbon monoxide, and iron for ferroportin export. Expression is restricted to the monocyte and macrophage lineage and is driven up by IL-10, glucocorticoids, and heme itself, making it a canonical marker of alternatively activated and tumor-associated macrophages, while ADAM17 shedding releases soluble CD163 that serves as a clinical macrophage activation biomarker. Loss impairs hemoglobin clearance and iron recycling and alters macrophage polarization in tumor and atherosclerosis models. Related SRCR proteins including CD163L1, CD5L, and CD6 do not substitute for haptoglobin-hemoglobin uptake. Use conditional alleles with LysM or Cx3cr1 Cre to interrogate tissue macrophage subsets, and humanization when CD163-directed antibody drug conjugates or imaging agents are the endpoint.
